Reevaluate immigration, border control policies

/ 04:05 AM July 16, 2024

Suspended mayor Alice Guo has become the center of attention for Filipinos due to her questionable identity. Senate hearings gradually answered the questions that fed our curiosity about her. But how did she become so powerful in Bamban, Tarlac? Are influential figures involved in the falsification of her papers? Are the claims of her being a Chinese spy true?

It’s alarming to think that some undesirable aliens can freely roam the Philippines without legal and proper documents. This involves falsification. There are illegal Chinese workers in Philippine offshore gaming operators, an unexpected boom of Chinese students in Cagayan, and Guo’s questionable identification. These instances emphasize that the Chinese presence has been gradually creeping into the Philippines—perhaps it is connected to the disputed waters in the West Philippine Sea?

However, these underground Chinese plans can be prevented if those in service have the integrity to stand by what they have pledged. Why do they exchange the Philippines’ safety for wealth that will put us in danger? It is selfish and disheartening to see these people betray the Philippines. I hope this is not the case.

OPINION

The ongoing challenges call for a reevaluation of our immigration policies and border control measures. Strengthening these systems can prevent the infiltration of individuals with questionable motives. Additionally, promoting transparency and accountability among public officials is crucial. Corruption not only undermines national security but also erodes public trust in the government.

Education and awareness are also key in combating these issues. By informing citizens about the potential threats and encouraging a sense of national pride and vigilance, we can create a united front against those who seek to exploit our nation. Encouraging community involvement and fostering a culture of patriotism can serve as a powerful deterrent against internal and external threats.
